Our super 16 ran over 5km to finish painting the huge wall at Everton Park

Just before we stepped outside for our Group Run this week, a big yellow orb appeared in the sky. What is that thing? some asked with amazement. Those with better memories responded uncertainly, I think its the sun! So with the heat of a long lost sunshine warming our way, we ran the steady 2.3km to Everton Park.

A few weeks back, we'd made a super start painting over an old mural at Everton Park and this week we planned to finish the job. I wasn't sure this chatty group were going to get the whole thing done in time, but as usual, they exceeded my expectations, finishing in time for a good fitness session which included two of our favourite things: steps AND hills. Oh how I spoil you!

Shout out to Katie for being our trusty back-marker and to Sophie for painting the harder to reach areas with her magic roller poll!

At the end of the fitness session were treated to views right across the city and to Wirral beyond, as the Mersey sparkled in the sunshine (long may it last). The run back to base was all down hill and the group set an excellent pace. A huge well done to everybody for top-class good-deeding and running tonight.

Next week we return to the Bombed Out Church, so bring your friends.
